Physics Question on Electromagnetic induction
A circular coil of radius 8cm, 400 turns and resistance 2Omega is placed with its plane perpendicular to the horizontal component of the earths magnetic field. It is rotated about its vertical diameter through 180∘ in 0.30s. Horizontal component of earth magnetic field at the place is 3×10−5T The magnitude of current induced in the coil is approximately
A
4×10−2A
B
8×10−4A
C
8×10−2A
D
1.92×10−3A
Answer
8×10−4A
Explanation
Solution
Initial flux through the coil ϕi=BAcosθ =3×10−5×π×(8×10−2)2×cos0∘ =192π×10−9WB Final flux after the rotation ϕf=3×10−5×π×(8×10−2)2×cos180∘ =−192π×10−9Wb ∴ The magnitude of induced emf is ε=Ndt∣dϕ∣=dtN∣ϕf−ϕi∣ =0.30400×(384π×10−9) =1.6×10−3V Current, I=Rε =21.6×10−3 =8×10−4A
